When I started my education at Department of International Trade and Finance, which was my first choice, in 2005 I understood a new life was ahead of me. After spending a year abroad, I thought everything would be different, and everything turned out the way I wanted.
Sami Eyidilli
2017 - Distance Learning MBA without Thesis Graduate
I started MBA in the first year that Izmir University of Economics implemented distance education master's programs. Therefore, I am one of the first e-MBA students of our university to graduate. These investments made years ago in distance education give us a better understanding of its importance in the pandemic period we are in today. When I started my MBA, I was actively involved in business life and was living in Istanbul.
Fulya Akgül Durakçay
2009 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
The undergraduate education I started to study at Izmir University of Economics in 2004 has created a solid foundation for me to start my academic career. Thanks to the presentations and assignments we prepared in classes, as well as the encouragement of active participation by all our professors in the Department of International Relations and the European Union, which I studied very fondly, the fact that analytical thinking and questioning became an indispensable part of our learning was reflected in all areas of my life.
Ekrem Sözdinler
2017 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
It was one of the best decisions I made to start Izmir University of Economics - Department of International Relations and EU, my first choice, in 2012 with a 100% scholarship. My major gave me an international perspective and a wide range of cultures. I tried to be as active as possible throughout my university life. During my undergraduate education, I gained various internship experiences.
Gülşah Güler
2017 - Architecture Graduate
In 2013, 19 years since my birth in Germany, I decided to settle in Izmir, Turkey by getting an "Abitur" diploma. Attending a university in Turkey, being useful to my country and people was my biggest dream since I was little. I started to realize this dream with "Izmir University of Economics". The main reasons for me to choose Izmir University of Economics were the successful education staff as well as the medium of education being completely English.
